Patent CA-2640653-A1 (CA)
Inventor: STEINKE UWE
IPC: F16B5/02
Filed: 2007-03-16
Abstract: In bolted joints having a plurality of bolts, the receiving bores for the bolts in the parts to be joined are usually made by joint boring of the bolt eyes of these parts. In cases in which this approach is not possible, an offset of the bolt bores arises. The proposed solution is intended to compensate for this offset during the assembly of the parts. In order to bring about this compensation, it is provided that slotted eccentric bushings (24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29) are inserted into the finished-size bores of the bolt eyes (1a, 1b, 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d), which bores respectively receive a bolt (3, 4), and are adjustable by rotation such that the axes of their inner bores coincide, so that the bolt (3, 4) is insertable which establishes the joint. This solution is suitable for all bolted joints having a plurality of bolts, in which the parts to be joined cannot be jointly bored.

Abstract: A method of bonding a film (2) to a curved substrate (1) comprises preforming the film by applying a pneumatic pressure difference between two sides of the film and by heating said film. An intermediate shape is then conferred on the film, which is suitable for applying the film against a curved face of the substrate. This application is carried out, on the one hand, by keeping the film in the intermediate shape by means of an adjusted pressure difference applied between the two sides of the film and, on the other hand, by pressing the substrate against the film by means of a movable support (12-14). Such a method is used to obtain a defect-free ophthalmic lens with a film bonded to it.

Title: Apparatus for cracking the molecular structure of long chain organic substances
Inventor: PECCI GIORGIO
IPC: C07C1/04

Abstract: An apparatus for cracking organic substances, for making a mixture of solid and/or liquid and/or gaseous components. The device comprises a cracking chamber (5) with substantially tubular walls arranged between an inlet port (.beta.) of said organic substances and an outlet port (7) of the mixture. In the chamber (5) a rotor shaft is arranged (23) associated with rotary actuating means (24) of the rotor shaft (23) with respect to the walls of the chamber in such a way that the cracking occurs by friction of the substances during the relative rotation between the rotor shaft (23) and the walls of the cracking chamber (5). A feeding device pushes the substances in the cracking chamber (5), where they are subject to a high speed mixing action owing to the rotor shaft (23), and a variable gap (S) adjusts the friction, in particular, in a first tubular section (20) of the chamber (5), so that the transformation temperature reaches a desired value. Then the products pass through the gap (S), from the first tubular section (20) to a second tubular section (21), which may have diameter larger than the first and where the transformation is completed, and then are transferred to a degassing device through the outlet port (7).

Abstract: Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate enhancing acquisition and handoff in a wireless network deployment by leveraging primary pilots and secondary pilots. The deployment can support more than one frequency band for operation, yet a mobile device can receive signals on one frequency band at a given time. Thus, a base station can transmit primary pilot(s) over frequency band(s) associated with operating data channel(s) as well as secondary pilot(s) over frequency band(s) that lack data channel(s) for the base station. Moreover, the base station can convey information that indicates to a mobile device whether each pilot is primary or secondary. Further, the mobile device can employ knowledge of pilot type (e.g., primary or secondary) as well as signal strength to effectuate handoff decisions; thus, disruptions in communication can be mitigated.
